Give you a bracelet

I am doing a friendship bracelets for all my friends and family so they have something from me when I move abroad for university.Now my question is if I should still make a bracelet for my ex. We are still friends and he was nice to me yesterday, he supported me in my idea of taking care of my lymphedema on my own. He sent so much support.

On the other hand, he won't wear the bracelet. Neither he would do a bracelet or something for me....

I would only give them to people who truly support you and who will wear it. Just my thought!! ;)

You are right too. But I think giving to my father and he won't wear it either 😂

I think it's more the gesture than something else, but I'm still wondering if it's worth it

What a neat idea! I remember making friendship bracelets. They were so much fun to make! Sad thing was that I would make them for myself (I took the meaning literally and didn't have many friends at all). I knitted a scarf for my husband once. He never wore it, but that's because scarves aren't his thing (I've never seen him wear a scarf; even in -30C🤦‍♀️).

I'm not sure how to answer your question. I do like your line of thinking (he won't wear it and neither would he do something for me). It all comes down to what your feelings are, though.

Good luck on the move! It's a big one, so just relax (this from someone who remembers doing everything but relaxing at the gate waiting to board the plane to abroad for the first time...🙄). Just remember, it's normal to be nervous.

I want to give you one funny story, if I may. Our first flight abroad moving here was pretty empty. We had no idea why except that it was pretty awesome! We could stretch out and sleep, we got great service, etc. When we arrived in Norway, we had this "so THAT'S why the plane was so empty" realization. It was the dead of winter, snowy, dark, and cold. Who would EVER want to arrive to that, never mind move to that????
